Things that have disappeared from football 22:07 - Feb 13 with 9716 viewsPlums

What happened to the centre line flags? I haven't just noticed they've gone but I've been pondering the big issues in life today and for some reason they crossed my mind.

When did they go?
What else has gone from the game?

It's 106 miles to Portman Road, we've got a full tank of gas, half a round of Port Salut, it's dark... and we're wearing blue tinted sunglasses.

All fixtures at 3 pm on a Saturday

And more recently FA Cup replays (which was a bad decision for the Cup imo)

And on that subject, respect for the Cup by managers. Long gone and it’s mainly a reserves tournament now.

Poll: Do you think Pert is key to all of this?

Crowds going "Aaaaaaaaaa" when mocking a goal kick/awful shot or pass etc ... proper sound of the 1990s but it's now "Wahaaaay!".

I loved my air horn - it was freezing to hold!

Outfield players going in goal.


I was trying to explain Neil Gregory to my son the other day. The idea of a striker justifying his place on the bench by being a half-decent goalkeeper is so alien to modern-day football he just didn’t get it!
